Stunning view from the rooftop. Kareri is really beautiful.

It is quite an isolated location so it can be quite expensive getting around as taxis seem to be the only option. The bathroom could do with a renovation and some background music in the upstairs common areas would add to the vibe. Take earplugs too, because sometimes the dogs will get into a barking contest throughout the night right outside the rooms. The Hosteller also make you pre-pay on an external payment platform outside of booking.com which didn't work for me initially. It took me a lot of time troubleshooting just to pay for my stay and there were extra fees

This Hosteller is away from the crowds and nestled into the small village of Kareri. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, the views are amazing and the food is delicious. The room's are spacious and the WiFi was consistent during my visit. This is also a great spot for hiking to Kareri Lake which is a beautiful trek.

There was no place in the dorm to hang your jacket (like a hanger on the door) which I would have appreciated.

This is a magical property at a magical offbeat place. The manager, Aryan, was so helpful and really fun to be around. Also the other staff members were very nice and always positive. I loved the food here and I think this is a great place for workation. The Wifi worked well most of the time.

I had an exceptional experience staying at the Hosteller, Kareri. The location was perfect and the dorm was spacious, clean, and well-appointed with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, always ready to assist with any requests

Having been to kareri I feel like I have lived more in these few days than I had in the last year: going to swim in the river everyday, doing the kareri lake trek, meditating near the waterfall, visiting meadows for yoga with folks from the hostel and gazing at starlit nights with moonrises. Really a varestile crowd, met people from all walks of life. The host and the staff is very kind, friendly and helpful.

Absolutely no complaints. Any concerns we had were taken care of by the staff on priority.

This was my second time staying at hosteller Kareri. Architecture, location, views and services are top notch. The property is beautiful! The dorm beds were super comfortable, too, and the common areas are really nice. Loved everything I ate, too. The banana Nutella pancakes are amazing! Staff, too, is very cooperative.

The location is perfect for spending some good time in Kareri. Perfect location for stopover for Kareri Trek. The food served in the cafe is also very good.

It was advertised as one of the properties in Dharamshala, but it was at least 1 hour drive away from the bus station, costing 1500 INR each trip. It’s all the way in Kareri which is beautiful btw, and we’re still glad we got to stay here for a night. But the drive was a bit challenging for our taxi driver (who drove us all the way from Amritsar) due to poor roads at some bits. Just one more thing. We would’ve given a 10-star review, but we could not go to sleep past midnight as staff were playing loud music at the common area and were talking loudly and we could hear everything. They did turn down the music a little after my husband said something, but could still hear them (sound proofing maybe wasn’t the best here). If it were guests we would’ve been more understanding, but the fact that it was the staff with the loud music made us inclined to leave this review. But everything else was perfect and negatives can be easily remedied.

It’s such a cool place to stay, very clean and comfortable bed and pillows, spacious room, and really nice restaurant at the rooftop with great food with reasonable prices. Our favourite part of the stay was when Aryan, who’s basically in charge of the place (I think), took us for a free morning yoga session at this beautiful place in nature which involved a beautiful walk letting us taking in the beautiful scenery. It was our favourite part of our 3-day trip to Dharamshala and were very grateful for the experience. Aryan was super friendly and a great yoga instructor, especially for us yoga beginners!

No complaints !

I stayed at Hosteller for a little over a week, extending my stay again and again like many guests. It's a peaceful place with a great view on the mountain range and starry nights. The food is very tasty, everybody is so helpful and the rooms are clean! So many lovely encounters too💕 I definitely recommend it!

Nothing to dislike .. an abosolutely perfect stay !!!

The location was awesome.. one of the best decisions I took for a solo travel. A serene atmosphere with neat and clean surroundings where one can find ultimate peace in the midst of nature. Add to that the facilities of The Hosteller Kareri was top notch and Ashok ji maintained everything beautifully. The food was awesome and delicious. All in all a wholesome experience.. woukd definitely recommend to visit and personally would love to visit again.

This place is so peaceful and packed with superb views. I enjoyed my usual vegetarian food here. Felt like living in a small village with zero interferences.

Felt a little dull

The staff was very courteous and it was very clean

I visited this place around Dec 26. Rooms were really cold. They provide two blankets which keep you warm in bed but given other excellent things about this hostel, I would also provide a blower to keep room warm during winter

Location, staff, view from top, bonfire, delicious food at canteen
